Band:  Collective Soul
Song:  Heavy
Album: Dosage
Year:  1999
tabbed by: Alex Greg Larson AKA dudemanwhoathe1

Honestly, all these incorrect versions of this song are
really starting to get me mad, so I decided to tab it out myself.
So here is my almost 100% perfect tab of Heavy, the only
part I'm unsure about is the guitar I for the chorus. 
So yeah, enjoy this extremely amazing song, cuz its fun to play.

Lyrics
======================================================
(verse 1)
Complicate this world you wrapped for me 
Im acquainted with your suffering

(chorus)
And all your weight, it falls on me             
It brings me down                      
And all your weight, it falls on me   
It falls on me                       

Hold me up to those whom you decieved
Promises you break, you still believe

(chorus) x3
And all your weight, it falls on me             
It brings me down                      
And all your weight, it falls on me   
It falls on me 

==========================================================================
==========================================================================

And now you have seen the tabs for Heavy
Please, go play it and enjoy yourself because this song is
pretty extreme, the riff is very complex for beginners but
once you get it down its a synch and still fun.
